Despite the apparent tension between the governments of the United States and Mexico in recent days, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, has quickly softened the disagreement and reiterated this Tuesday morning her message of dialogue and cooperation, although she acknowledged that President Trump's proposals are "unacceptable."
During a press conference from the National Palace, Sheinbaum emphasized that dialogue between both governments remains active and mentioned that the Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, is in Washington to continue the conversations. The president stressed that the relationship with the U.S. government is good and that there are no fractures, despite differences in opinions.
Regarding Trump's proposal to send U.S. military forces to Mexico to combat drug cartels, Sheinbaum rejected it. She acknowledged the U.S. president's call to strengthen control over the entry of arms from the United States to Mexico as "historic," although she emphasized that she finds certain proposals unacceptable.
In response to a flattering comment from Trump towards her, Sheinbaum avoided confrontations and stressed the importance of maintaining communication regarding the trade relationship between both countries. The Republican president, for his part, accused her of fearing criminal groups, suggesting that this fear affects her judgment.
On the other hand, Sheinbaum highlighted efforts in seizing weapons as part of the fight against violence in the country. The president of Mexico has prioritized dialogue and cooperation amid differences with the U.S. government.
